Palm's missed opportunity

Palm almost had a hit.

And then they went ahead and listened to the wrong people. I'm talking about the Foleo. The proof? Apple released the Air and the netbook market exploded a year after Foleo was cancelled before it even reached consumers. How prescient was it, to have a lightweight, small screen laptop?

And then they went ahead and pursued WebOS and the Pre, after gaining such glowing praise from the wrong people, otherwise known as the media. Too bad, Palm, too bad.
